BROSSARD, Que. — The Montreal Canadiens recalled forward Joshua Roy from the American Hockey League, while winger Patrik Laine skated in a regular jersey at practice Monday.

Roy was expected to crack the Canadiens’ roster out of training camp but began the season with the AHL’s Laval Rocket.

The 21-year-old has eight goals and eight assists in 17 AHL games this season. He produced four goals and five assists in 23 games with the Canadiens last season.

Laine practised with his teammates last Wednesday for the first time since suffering a left knee sprain, but sported a non-contact jersey.

The 26-year-old was injured after a collision with Cédric Paré during a pre-season game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sept. 28. He opted not to undergo surgery.
